According to school business manager Michelle Houwen, construction on the pool is set to begin next month and it should be ready for use in July next year. She said the new 50metre pool would be heated by a geothermal bore system which will carry heated water, pumped from underground, through a heat exchanger which in turn will heat the pool water to a desired temperature. The geothermal heating means we will drastically reduce energy costs and cut back on black energy usage, she said. Head of sport Simone Brown said the new pool would be a great addition to the sports department. It will definitely be a benefit for the girls, she said. Because it is heated, the pool can be used all year round. St Hildas offers I Looking forward to getting a bigger, warmer pool at St Hildas are water polo players, from left, Jessica Zimmerman, Jemma McFarland, Olivia Wareing, Coraleigh Abrahams, Eliza Noske and Grace Oliver, with former student and Australian water polo player Gemma Beadsworth. swimming and water polo as sports to all students, and girls in Years 11 and 12 can do water aerobics. For Mrs Brown, the biggest benefit will come from being able to hold training sessions and swimming lessons on site, rather than booking a public swimming pool. Water polo will now run for longer and swimming training, which is often done over the holiday periods at public swimming pools, will now be held on site, she said. St Hildas has a number of students who excel in the water. The St Hildas swimming team came third in the inter-school swimming carnival this year with teams in Year 7 and 12 winning pennants. Year 10 student Coraleigh Abrahams competed in the National Country Water Polo Championships and was the top goal scorer for WA. The pool would be there for every student to use, Mrs Brown said. The pool is not just there for those who want to engage in competitive sports. Its also for those girls who enjoy swimming and just want to have fun.     ");

Girls were allowed to leave their regular school shoes at home and wear outrageous footwear inventions, all in the name of charity. Father Toby Sherring, the schools community service coordinator, said their efforts were assisted by a very generous donation from the mother of three St Hildas students. But it wasnt a donation of the dollar kind. Jenni Granger, of Mosman Park, shaved off her long blonde hair to help raise more money. Mrs Granger works as a volunteer at the hospital and decided to sacrifice her hair to help raise the 14,500 needed to buy the scanner. The rescued hair was given to charity so that a wig could be made for chemotherapy patients. Mrs Granger has given countless hours producing and managing costumes for St Hildas productions, Father Sherring said. So the St Hildas community gave her our full support for the fundraising. Chaplain Toby Sherring checks out the fancy footwear that St Hildas students wore to raise funds for palliative care.     ");

The stationery requested on the official book lists is selected primarily for functionality and allows the students to focus on the activity at hand rather than on the colour or design of each item. Popular stationery is in abundance at the moment and is cluttering the students desks and the classroom.

It would be simplistic to focus on our students’ outstanding achievements over the past few weeks and to conclude that we are achieving our potential. In this edition of the Newsletter, the News of Students section documents spectacular student successes in English, Science, Mathematics, Art and also in a variety of sporting fields. St Hilda’s won the Eric Carlin Award for the best secondary school in the West Australian Newspaper’s Young Writers’ Competition and, in addition, our students won both the lower and upper secondary categories in the Tim Winton awards for young writers. In Science, our students excelled in the Rio Tinto Big Science competition and in the International Competitions and Assessment for Schools (ICAS). In Mathematics, 40 students participated in and achieved excellent results in the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians. Our Art featured at the St George’s Cathedral Art Awards and one of our students was the overall winner. In sport, we have a new national representative and two State representatives. While achieving potential may be gauged by external successes such as those outlined above, at an individual level we admire and respect those who strive and display determination to achieve their best, no matter what their personal challenges or goals. We believe that all students should experience challenge through their school programs. If this is not the case, the programs are likely to be too easy. The adage, no friction, no traction applies to learning and personal growth. At this stage of the year, our Years 11 and 12 students are very focused on the pursuit knowledge and are committed to achieve their best over the next few months.

In order to properly equip school students with the analytical tools and skills they will need in later life, St Hildas Anglican School is committed to integrating advanced technologies with the school curriculum in order to fully engage and educate students and prepare them for a productive future. Editorial contacts: Brad Swiney Hewlett-Packard 02 9022 7689 brad.swiney@hp.com Imogen Rimington Burson-Marsteller 02 9928 1530 imogen.rimington@bm.com Hewlett-Packard 410 Concord Road Rhodes NSW 2138 Australia www.hp.com.au Robin McKean is the deputy head of curriculum for the junior school at St Hildas and, thanks to a Westfield Premiers Scholarship, has spent some time investigating how technology can be integrated with teaching pedagogies and meshed with the demands of the school curriculum in order to deliver a richer learning environment. It was during an overseas field trip that McKean first saw schools integrating advanced technologies with the school curriculum. Students were provided with portable technology featuring embedded global positioning systems, and were able to engage with computers and access a rich library of multimedia content as they moved around. Tasks or questions were displayed on the hand-held computers and once successfully completed or answered, the students were directed to their next location where the onboard GPS triggered the next section of the application. These media-scape learning modules can feature audio, video, pictures or text content to deliver what McKean refers to as augmented reality. Having seen video evidence of this system demonstrated overseas, she returned to St Hildas in Perth to implement a similar program. St Hildas program was then designed to get students interested in learning; connecting peers, teachers and experts while providing a window into other cultures and perspectives. The multi-media could make the curriculum come alive and allow both teachers and students to explore content deeply. The program would utilise technology for information gathering, information searching, content sharing, knowledge refining, new knowledge building, promoting use of multiple intelligences; encouraging students to embrace technology; and aiming to create a level platform of knowledge which forms the foundation for future learning. As a result, St Hildas invested in a collection of 16 HP iPAQ handheld devices and started to collect and develop a library of applications (some developed by the students themselves) that supported teachers and students at the school. Now, students have become accustomed to using a variety of technologies, teachers are harnessing new technology, and student engagement and performance has improved. Business Challenges St Hildas Principal Joy Shepherd had always trusted research, judgements and insights gained from observations in Europe, UK and Asia to improve learning environments and teach opportunities. So even before her study tour McKean had recognised that teachers need to adapt their teaching methods to prepare students for advanced ways of learning outside the traditional classroom approach. Technology enables us to engage with content directly from the internet, a source of information that is going to be essential for children to be comfortable dealing with on a daily basis beyond their school years. Despite the promise of the technology, the school understood that any applications had to mesh with the demands of the curriculum, and also be embraced by both teachers and students. The devices selected had to be reliable and robust, and easy to use. Fortunately, there was little resistance to the new program with students and parents alike all extremely interested in the new technology and very supportive of the initiative. This eased pressure on the decision makers, St Hildas IT committee comprising the Dean o      ");

It would be simplistic to focus on our students outstanding achievements over the past few weeks and to conclude that we are achieving our potential. In this edition of the Newsletter, the News of Students section documents spectacular student successes in English, Science, Mathematics, Art and also in a variety of sporting fields. St Hildas won the Eric Carlin Award for the best secondary school in the West Australian Newspapers Young Writers Competition and, in addition, our students won both the lower and upper secondary categories in the Tim Winton awards for young writers. In Science, our students excelled in the Rio Tinto Big Science competition and in the International Competitions and Assessment for Schools (ICAS). In Mathematics, 40 students participated in and achieved excellent results in the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians. Our Art featured at the St Georges Cathedral Art Awards and one of our students was the overall winner. In sport, we have a new national representative and two State representatives. While achieving potential may be gauged by external successes such as those outlined above, at an individual level we admire and respect those who strive and display determination to achieve their best, no matter what their personal challenges or goals. We believe that all students should experience challenge through their school programs. If this is not the case, the programs are likely to be too easy. The adage, no friction, no traction applies to learning and personal growth. At this stage of the year, our Years 11 and 12 students are very focused on the pursuit knowledge and are committed to achieve their best over the next few months. We wish them well in their endeavours and reassure them that the staff is here to support them in their learning. The challenges for other groups are varied with Year 10s soon to undertake their Outdoor Education camp at Margaret River.

Our teachers know how important literacy and numeracy are for Junior School students and are always looking to improve teaching methods for optimum learning. Many programs are available from both the commercial and education sectors, and are based on the following: Children learn best when they are engaged. For example, in problem-solving, children learn when the problem is in a context they understand and they are able to `have-a -go. It is important for them to interact with other learners and to receive appropriate support from teachers who take into account the differences in childrens working memories which contribute to their rate of development. When this is taken into account, children consolidate their learning and develop deeper understanding. Developmental progress maps (or continua) assist teachers to monitor students progress. These continua include milestones and indicators to inform teachers of the likely developmental phase that a child has reached. Certain behaviours provide a window into a childs understanding. For example, when a child uses his/her fingers to point at words, it indicates that the child is conscious of the importance of words and that each word is placed according to the meaning of the sentence. Strategies and activities are designed to support the students phases of development. Teachers carefully select those that best suit their students to enhance their ongoing progress. Some activities can be used by all students irrespective of their abilities and developmental stages and others specifically target and support students at a particular phase of their development. A map containing ideas for parents to use at home, and which is tailored to their childs particular phase of development, complements the work done in the classroom. In the past, this has been provided to parents of children in the early years only. Next year, we anticipate providing workshops for parents to introduce the concept of problem solving, working memory and how to use the continua at home to support literacy development. Many indicators of development are included in the semester reports as desirable targets for that Year level. All teachers work with students to achieve these targets, and some students achieve the targets earlier or later than others, according to their development. The Junior School reports contain the ratings of `achieved, `consolidating, `working towards or `emerging to accurately capture each childs phase and to provide encouragement for continued progress. Parallel to academic learning is the journey of childrens social and emotional development. Children develop skills over time, in various contexts and, just as with literacy and numeracy learning, they need opportunities to take risks and try out their strategies in different contexts. As parents and teachers, our role is to provide them with the scaffolds to make progress and encourage them to recognise that, if an approach is not successful, they can pick themselves up, look at what didnt work, plan differently and try again. Students need to be risk takers and be able to bounce back from disappointments. Little steps of progress are better than no steps and, sometimes, specific intervention and extra support, time and experience are needed. We are very fortunate at St Hildas to have Mrs Millie McLeod, our school psychologist and counsellor, who provides seminars, teaching programs, advice and support. Millie works closely with students, teachers and parents, empowering us all to continue to develop. Best wishes for Terms 3 and 4 and may you make steps whether they are great or small.

Do students have to be Anglican? No. St Hilda’s students come from a diverse range of religious backgrounds. All religions are respected and discussed in depth in Religious and Philosophical Studies. The School provides an opportunity for students to experience Christian values and principles which are integral to daily life. For those who are interested in being confirmed in the Anglican faith, confirmation classes are available each year. 2. Are the registration or confirming fees refundable? No, the fees are not refundable. Once paid, the confirmation fee will, however, guarantee your daughter a place at the School for your nominated academic and calendar year.However, if you change your choice of entry, the School may not be able to guarantee that your daughter will be offered a place according to your new preference. 3. What happens when a class is waitlisted? Places are offered according to the date of registration. Where possible, siblings and children/grandchildren of Old Scholars are given preference. First-round offers are made two years prior to commencement date. If places become available due to changed circumstances, a second-round of offers may occur. All offers can only be secured by payment of the confirming fee. 5. Do I have to purchase a laptop? No. Desktops deliver more computer power at less cost to parents. St Hilda’s is a desktop school providing the best of both Windows and Apple Mac applications. The majority of our computers are Windows based, however subjects which focus on graphics or design use Apple Macs, which offer leading programmes in this field. The School’s desktops offer fast access speed, excellent virus protection and a selection of over 350 controlled applications covering all curriculum areas including Model Smart (Bridge Design simulation software), Geometer’s Sketch Pad (Mathematics), Sibelius (Music), and FX Structure (Chemistry). Desktops allow for equipment to be serviced and updated at no additional cost to parents, or inconvenience to students. The School’s highly-advanced Intranet allows student access from home and features curricular-specific activities from the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12. Further information about our desktop policy is available in the Do students need laptop computers? 5. What is the cost for my daughter to attend the Tutoring Centre? Nil. The innovative Tutoring Centre is just one of the all-inclusive services that St Hilda’s offers its Senior School students, to maximise each girl’s potential. 6. Why is Year 7 part of Senior School? Based on the latest research on the developmental needs of young adolescents, St Hilda’s made the decision to commence Senior School in Year 7 from 2006. Girls in this age group enjoy new challenges in a carefully constructed, nurturing learning environment. Over time, this is likely to be more widely recognised and other schools are likely to follow St Hilda’s lead. 7. Can my daughter use public transport to School? Yes. The School is well serviced by a network of public transport. Details are available from our website. School bus and general transport timetables are available from the Transperth website www.transperth.wa.gov.au which also features a journey planner. St Hilda’s operates its own special shuttle bus every school morning and afternoon between the School and Stirling Highway and Mosman Park Railway Station. Another St Hilda’s bus operates through Bull Creek, Applecross and the southern corridor. 8. Do students at St Hilda’s mainly come from wealthy families? Some of our families are financially wealthy whilst others make lifestyle decisions in order to provide their children with the opportunities available at St Hilda’s. St Hilda’s families have one thing in common – they are all rich with the desire to give their children the best ‘opportunities for life.’ St Hilda’s does not have the highest average household income for Perth private girls’ schools.

There are three stages for enrolments usually commencing within two years of your daughter’s entry date. For students who commence earlier, the same stages apply, but are simply accelerated. Students who attend St Hilda’s are required to be competent in spoken and written English appropriate to their level of entry. 1. Registration Download a registration form Registration is an expression of interest in St Hilda’s and is not a formal commitment. The application form which is easy to complete, ensures that your daughter will be placed on a register for enrolment in the class and calendar year of your choice. Completion of registration does not guarantee your child a place. Registration applications are processed on a date-received basis. The earlier you register your daughter, the higher the probability of receiving an offer of a place. The registration fee is AUD 200 per student which can be paid by money order, bank transfer, credit card or telegraphic transfer. The School requires a copy of your daughter’s birth certificate, her passport photo page and, if available, a student visa. 2. Confirmation of Enrolment Subject to availability, the School will extend an offer of a place two years prior to your daughter’s commencement date. International students frequently require a place sooner than two years, and, where possible, an early offer will be made which is conditional upon all fees being paid. For international students the fees include: the confirming fee, enrolment fee, private health fees, a refundable bond, one semester’s boarding (if applicable) and tuition fees payable in advance. The confirming fee is 20% of the current Year 8 international academic tuition fee and is reduced for siblings. Once the fees are paid and processed, the School will confirm the place and provide a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) form which you can use to apply for a student visa. It is your responsibility to obtain a visa for your daughter. For visa information, go to www.immi.gov.au/study/applying/index.htm 3. The Final Step Prior to your daughter’s commencement date, the School will send you a number of forms that require completion, including medical history, subject options and parental consent. The Enrolments Office can guide you through the paperwork. You will be advised of the orientation process, usually held at the end of January, which will help your daughter adapt to her new school. The Uniform Service, located at the Bay View Campus, is a one-stop shop for all St Hilda’s uniform requirements excluding footwear. Payment Options St Hilda’s has five easy payment options for the fees detailed above: 1. Cash, money order or bank cheque in Australian dollars 2. Direct bank transfer to St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls. Please ensure that you give your surname and proposed class and calendar year in the transfer ‘description’ that appears on the receiver’s statement.

The decision has been made to send your daughter to our boarding school. You have weighed up the many opportunities that will be available to your daughter at St Hilda’s against the heartache of separation and the financial cost involved. Rest assured that her needs, attributes and personality will be recognised and nurtured by boarding staff and that on her voyage to independence, she will be safe and will make many new friends. When you and your family first venture into the Boarding House to settle your child, it should feel like you have met an extension of your family. Indeed it is helpful to think of our boarding staff, and your child’s new peer group, as part of your extended family. It is important to start the boarding preparation process as soon as possible. Personally visiting St Hilda’s is the most positive method of preparing your child. It will be helpful for your daughter to meet key staff in the Boarding House – a familiar face on the first day will help her settle, and reduce anxiety. Our staff welcome the opportunity to meet and get to know new boarders prior to their commencement. I provide my contact details including email address to all new boarding families so that if either you or your daughter have any questions, you can call or email. I also give all enrolled boarders a copy of the boarding routine. This is an excellent document through which you can become familiar with routines and the School’s orientation programme. Our School website is updated regularly. Please visit this often to familiarise yourself and your child with the annual activities. A child who has attended camps or undertaken independent sleepovers away from her family prior to commencing boarding is likely to be better prepared. New routines and changes in daily patterns are more easily accepted. For many children it will be the first experience of being separated from the family and being a part of a formal classroom. Remind your daughter that although she may not have been in a regular school she will bring many skills with her. This is particularly true of School of the Air children who will have advanced computing, concentration and listening skills. Children are extremely adaptable and those who have never been in classrooms before lose their nervousness after the first week. Starting Senior School requires a different set of skills than for the primary years and there are many simple strategies that can help girls to adjust. Help develop organisational skills by encouraging your daughter to use a diary or a wall planner to document important dates. Begin to use files and loose-leaf paper for class work and ensure your child has the skills to file papers correctly so that they can be retrieved when necessary. Begin a homework schedule and adhere to it very closely. Allow your daughter to complete tasks unaided. Familiarise your daughter with how to use a washing machine and clothes dryer and encourage tidiness in her bedroom. You will also need to emphasise the need for good social skills and manners. There will be the basic skills of waiting patiently in line or for a response; being friendly; taking responsibility for her hygiene and learning to share. Boarders have to learn to welcome and encompass individuals from various backgrounds and accept that others views may differ significantly from their own. Developing such skills and discussing values within the safety of the family home will be extremely beneficial to your child. Talk about homesickness and ensure that your child knows this is normal and most children will experience these feelings at some time in their boarding career. Be reassured that homesickness is a feeling that reminds us of where and to whom we belong. Boarding staff at St Hilda’s are experienced and will capably manage this possible passing difficulty. Discuss the reasons why you want your child to board at St Hilda’s and review the positive stati      ");

In order to help new girls cope with these adjustments, the Boarding House has several support programmes, run by veteran boarders. All new girls are paired or buddied with an older boarder. The buddy shows each new boarder the practicalities of communal living including how to use the washing machine and where the best mobile phone reception can be found! Buddy Fun Days are staged on a regular basis. All new boarders participate in the Peer Support Programme. For the younger boarders in Years 7 and 8, this is with a Peer Support Leader. Here older boarders nurture their junior charges through the challenging transition from home to boarding life and, in many cases, into Senior School. Junior boarders enjoy a strong support network through weekly activities or group discussions and ongoing informal contact with their Peer Support Leader. For the small number of students who commence in the later years, the mentoring programme helps girls to adjust easily. Seasoned boarders ensure that newcomers feel welcome. The mentors arrange chat sessions after dinner with hot chocolate and games where the girls can express their fears, reservations and triumphs.

Not only are the surroundings unfamiliar, but also the teachers and students. St Hilda’s strives to make your first days and weeks at the School as easy as possible. On the Sunday before the start of the school year, there is a special orientation for all new students. Here you have the opportunity to meet your teachers as well as other new and current students. Your teacher will show you around the campus and a casual get-together follows where you and your parents can meet other members of the school community. During the orientation day, senior school students will meet their tutors and the girls in the tutor group. Although there may be up to 150 girls in each senior school Year, the tutor groups consist of 15 to 20 girls in the same Year and House. Your tutor has contact with you on a daily basis and will develop a tutorial programme designed to cater for your needs and interests. The tutor remains with the same group for the duration of your secondary schooling and becomes a constant source of guidance and an expert on YOU. Students and parents benefit from the ongoing association. New junior school students are buddied with an current student, with their orientation undertaken by their class teacher. There are plenty of opportunities to play and make new friends. On the first day of school, you will receive an orientation kit which includes a map of the School and pictures of key teachers for your year. This helps you find classrooms, toilets and to put names to teachers’ faces. For Year 7 students, majority of your classes are in the home-room. Your teacher will walk with you to the sports and other facilities until you are familiar with the campus. Teachers will also guide Year 8 students from classroom to classroom over the first week and continue to check that all students are aware of the location of their next class over the forthcoming weeks.

St Hilda’s students come from a diverse range of religious backgrounds. The School provides an opportunity for students to experience Christian values and principles which are integral to daily life. Students attend a Chapel Service three times each term. The Chapel is also available for private reflection, weddings, baptisms and funerals for school families, staff and Old Scholars. Girls can choose to prepare for First Communion in the Junior School and Confirmation in the Senior School. Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick are available as required. What does a School Chaplain do? The Chaplain is an Anglican Priest whose parish is the School. He or she is a full-time member of staff who is available to students, staff, parents and all members of the wider school community. The Chaplain is a member of the Pastoral Care Committee and takes an active interest in the welfare of students and their families. A regular article in the monthly Newsletter is a point of contact and an opportunity to give a spiritual perspective on religious, educational, community or international issues. The Chaplain teaches Religious and Philosophical Studies and, as a pastor, coordinates Community Service, encouraging and enabling girls to learn from various activities which serve those in need and to reflect on their experiences. Priestly duties include presiding at regular celebrations of the Eucharist for Year groups, Houses, Junior School, staff, the boarding community and the whole school. Licensed by the Archbishop of Perth, the Chaplain is a trained liturgist, pastor and preacher, who represents the School in making links with other school chaplains, the Cathedral, local parishes and clergy. Our Chaplain, Father Toby Sherring combines the roles of Priest, Pastor and Teacher. At the core of his ministry is the challenge to see the spiritual in all we do as a school and to lead others on a path of discovery and appreciation, within the best traditions of Christianity. Aside from his priestly duties, Father Toby plays a pivotal role in providing students with pastoral care. As a visible member of the Church, familiar to all students and staff on both campuses, he is available for counselling on any matter. Priests are experts in confidentiality, and Father Toby will listen in confidence to any personal issues that parents and others wish to discuss. Married to Alicia, who is also a teacher, Father Toby enjoys singing, playing the organ and piano, theatre sound and lighting, travelling, reading and the excesses of Gothic revival architecture.

There are extensive career education programmes, individual career counselling, a well-resourced careers room, exciting software packages, careers exhibitions and guest speakers to ensure that all students are given opportunities to explore future pathways. Careers Education – Years 9 to 12 Career Education is a compulsory course for all students in Years 9 to 12. The girls focus on self-awareness, work exploration, career planning and managing transitions. Students develop an employment portfolio. Guest speakers from tertiary institutions and the Old Scholars’ Association provide additional information. Year 9 students play The Real Game – an innovative career exploration programme designed to introduce an understanding of the breadth of their options and opportunities, the implications of their choices and the importance of planning. The game consists of role playing, written exercises, research projects, structured activities and interaction with classmates, teachers, parents and community members. In Year 10, students select subjects for upper school and prepare for work experience. Workplace issues such as industrial relations and occupational health and safety are covered in the Year 10 Course. Students prepare employment portfolios, practise applying for positions and develop interviewing techniques. Business and Financial Planning – Year 10 This course addresses everyday, real-life financial scenarios. The girls form partnership groups and establish and manage their own small businesses. They select products based on market research and prepare business plans. Through practical application, the girls acquire business knowledge and develop a range of skills, including financial planning, management, quality assurance and marketing. The girls learn how to manage money, how credit cards work, the cost of mobile calls and the various ways of owning a mobile phone responsibly. They visit car yards online to choose a car and determine how to finance, license and insure it. This is practical, relevant course which aims to develop the girls’ sense of awareness and responsibility for the financial aspects of every day life.

What works best for students – laptops or desktops? This is a hotly debated issue in education and a dilemma for parents. There is no right or wrong answer because a variety of research supports both arguments. St Hilda’s has chosen to run an efficient, cost-effective desktop programme after carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages of both laptops and desktops. The reasons for this are many and varied, but simply, desktops deliver more computing power at less cost to parents. Flexibility By providing both Windows and Apple Mac computers, St Hilda’s caters for all computing needs. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Apple Mac Publisher programmes are frequently used by students. Subjects which focus on graphics or design, such as Interactive Media, are best catered for on Apple Macs, which offer leading programmes in this field. Across all subject areas, St Hilda’s offers the best of both the Windows and Apple Mac applications, so your daughter can be assured of learning skills that are easily transferable. Health and Safety Desktops eliminate the need for carrying a bulky laptop to and from school and any associated complications of theft, vandalism, accidental damage or insurance. Furthermore, the size and position of the desktop monitor promotes better posture in young bodies. Coordinated Computer Programme The introduction to computers is a coordinated process, with specific curricular objectives set for each academic year. Children in the Early Learning Centre begin their technological journey using computers with pictorial keyboards to compose stories. The acquisition of basic computer competence is complete by Year 4, and, by Year 6, all students have highly developed skills in a number of programmes. There is a plethora of computing subjects available to senior school students from TEE accredited Information Systems to Digital Media, as outlined in the yearly Handbooks. Productivity Most importantly, all work is backed up on the School’s server and cannot be lost due to a malfunctioning notebook. If a laptop has a fault, or runs out of battery during class, students miss out on important learning time while the problem is addressed. Should a fault occur in a desktop, the student simply changes to another work station. Desktops also negate the need for downtime during upgrades or maintenance. Using desktops means that students are not taking a specific computer home, so they cannot install games and other applications which may distract them, or others, in class. For girls who need to use the School’s computers after hours, the Senior School Library at St Hilda’s is open each weekday evening until 9:30pm and at the weekend. The Library is a convenient meeting point for students undertaking group work. The Latest Technology New technology for computers is released to desktop systems first. At the forefront of the technology curve, St Hilda’s range of desktops includes high powered computers for larger capacity and sophisticated multimedia work. The School’s desktops offer fast access speed, excellent virus protection and a selection of over 350 controlled applications covering all curriculum areas including Model Smart (Bridge Design simulation software), Language Market Place (French, Japanese), Foodworks (Food Technology), Geometer’s Sketch Pad (Mathematics), Sibelius (Music), English Issues (ESL) and FX Structure (Chemistry). The School has installed Firewire cards into labs to allow students to download digital video from a camera onto the machines and stream videos through the school network. Staff can identify educational videos online which are downloaded for immediate student use. Music students use high-end, high capacity computers on which they can compose musical scores and, using immediate playback, are able to improve or modify their work to achieve optimum results. Technology is changing rapidly. The future directions of technology are yet to be realised. St Hilda’s four-yea      ");

Small tutor groups, the House system, an on-campus Chaplain, school psychologists and a dedicated tutoring and student service team ensure that students have access to appropriate support. While each member of staff is committed to providing pastoral care to all students, small tutor groups enable students to develop a close relationship with the tutor.

In House groups, students undertake specific activities, enjoy assemblies and have an opportunity to build camaraderie across Year groups. The School has two School Psychologists who offer counselling to students on a range of issues, including those related to school, friendships, family and personal matters. They also run preventative mental health programmes for students as well as workshops on a variety of mental health issues for both parents and staff.

The multi-layered pastoral care system in the Senior School ensures that each student receives the support she needs in mind, body and soul. Our highly trained psychologists and School Chaplain are active members of the Pastoral Care Committee and are always available for counselling. Academic support is available through the Tutoring Centre. Here students are able to receive expert tutoring from specialist teachers in all the key curriculum areas. St Hilda’s also has a network of support available for parents. This ranges from opportunities to socialise through to parent seminars and family counselling.

The School was recently awarded a National Award for Quality Schooling for applying its values framework throughout the School. Justice, Respect and Concern for others We value sensitivity and concern for the wellbeing of others. Encouragement is given to each person to be caring and compassionate, to be respectful of the rights of others, and to find constructive ways of managing conflict. This includes the right to learn in a safe and supportive environment. Self Acceptance and respect of self We value the acceptance and respect of self, resulting in attitudes and actions that develop each person’s unique potential – physical, emotional, aesthetic, spiritual, intellectual, moral and social. We encourage the development of initiative, responsibility, ethical discernment, openness to learning and a sense of personal meaning and identity. A pursuit of knowledge and a commitment to achievement of potential. We value the lifelong commitment towards the quest for knowledge, as we strive to understand the social, natural and spiritual worlds and how best to make a contribution to these. We encourage each person to achieve his or her potential in all respects and, through critical and creative thinking, to develop a broad understanding of cultural values and world views. Social and civic responsibility We value the commitment to exploring and promoting the common good and to meeting individual needs without infringing the rights of others. We encourage each person to participate in democratic processes, to value diversity of cultural expression, to promote social justice and to support the use of ethical research for the improvement of the quality of life. Environmental Responsibility We value an awareness of the interdependence of all elements of the local, national and global environment and of the need to develop regenerative and sustainable resources. We encourage a respect and concern for Australia’s natural and cultural heritage. St Hildas Rowing Support Group RAVENOUS ROWERS MUESLI On Sale Now ?

In Year 11, students receive advice on time management and learning strategies which assist them in the transition to senior school studies. They also complete the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator and relate this to possible career options. The Year 12 program consists of a series of guest speakers who provide up-to-date information on post-school study options, career pathways and employment opportunities. INSTEP - Workplace Learning (WL) – Years 11 and 12 St Hilda’s is a member of the INSTEP West cluster of independent schools based in the Claremont/Fremantle region.

Business and Financial Planning – Year 10 This course addresses everyday, real-life financial scenarios. The girls form partnership groups and establish and manage their own small businesses. They select products based on market research and prepare business plans. Through practical application, the girls acquire business knowledge and develop a range of skills, including financial planning, management, quality assurance and marketing. The girls learn how to manage money, how credit cards work, the cost of mobile calls and the various ways of owning a mobile phone responsibly.

The new Information and Technology Centre, which opened at the beginning of Term 1, 2008, provides students with all the important elements in today’s modern curriculum. This new space sprang from the existing Library to house the book collection and all the information technology resources in one building, complete with an on-site Help Desk for students and staff. The modern, air-conditioned building is spacious, colourful, and is designed to support the School’s desktop programme, with vast numbers of both PC and Apple Mac computers. There are spaces and resources for teaching, research, study, discussion, media access and computing. Funds were raised for the Centre through the Spreading our Wings capital campaign which has raised money for Stage 2 of the School’s Master Plan. For more information about the School’s building programme, please see Campus Developments. Do students need a laptop? What works best for students – laptops or desktops? This is a hotly debated issue in education and a dilemma for parents. There is no right or wrong answer because a variety of research supports both arguments. St Hilda’s runs an efficient, cost-effective desktop programme after carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages of both laptops and desktops. The reasons for this are many and varied, but simply, desktops deliver more computing power at less cost to parents. Flexibility By providing both Windows and Apple Mac computers, St Hilda’s caters for all computing needs. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Apple Mac desktop publishing programmes are frequently used by students. Subjects which focus on graphics or design, such as Multimedia Challenge and Applied Information Technology, are best catered for on Apple Macs which offer leading programmes in this field. Across all subject areas, St Hilda’s offers the best of both the Windows and Apple Mac applications, so your daughter will learn skills that are easily transferable. Health and Safety Desktops eliminate the need for carrying a bulky laptop to and from school and any associated complications of theft, vandalism, accidental damage or insurance. Furthermore, the size and position of the desktop monitor promotes better posture in young bodies. Coordinated Computer Programme The introduction to computers is a coordinated process, with specific curricular objectives set for each academic year. Children in the Early Learning Centre begin their technological journey using computers with pictorial keyboards to compose stories. The acquisition of basic computer competence is complete by Year 4, and, by Year 6, all students have highly developed skills in a number of programmes. There is a plethora of computing subjects available to senior school students from Technology and Enterprise in Years 7 to 9, to the TEE accredited subject Applied Information Technology, as outlined in the yearly Handbooks. Productivity If a laptop has a fault, or runs out of battery during class, students miss out on important learning time while the problem is addressed. Should a fault occur in a desktop, the student simply changes to another work station. Desktops also negate the need for downtime during upgrades or maintenance. Most importantly, all work is backed up on the School’s server and cannot be lost due to a malfunctioning notebook. Using desktops means that students are not taking a specific computer home, so they cannot install games and other applications which may distract them, or others, in class. For girls who need to use the School’s computers after hours, the Senior School Library at St Hilda’s is open each weekday evening until 9:30pm and at the weekend. The Library is a convenient meeting point for students undertaking group work. The Latest Technology New technology for computers is released to desktop systems first. St Hilda’s rang      ");

In additional to training and motivating students on a daily basis, PE staff instil a strong sense of teamwork, support for each other, personal pride and pride in the School. Health Education is a vital part of the senior curriculum and draws upon the expertise of specialist guest speakers to reinforce the messages about nutrition, drugs, smoking, puberty, stress, sexual education and communicable diseases. Girls learn that it is important for each student to make her own decisions and how to counteract peer pressure.

This programme is for thinkers – for those who know that there is more than what they read in textbooks. Ethical theory, the Philosophy of Religion and the study of World Religions form the basis of the senior school learning programme. Students contemplate ultimate questions such as: Is there a God? Is there life after death? How do we make sense of the notion of life after death? How do we make sense of the problem of evil? What do we mean by evil? These are examined in order for the students to understand and study the difference between religious, ethical and philosophical theories and to comprehend how a wide range of viewpoints is applied to contemporary society on issues such as crime and punishment, abortion, euthanasia and the theory of a just war. Students can choose additional Philosophy options in Years 9 and 10. Two modules challenge students to carefully examine and appreciate the method of philosophical investigation. Students compile their own on-line philosophical magazine and host regular Philosophy Cafés in which groups of students examine major philosophical concepts. The RAPS programme in Years 11 and 12 introduces students to learning about the major world religions and the way in which religious practices and traditions impact on personal spirituality.

The drama curriculum is designed to meet the creative and academic needs of our students, developing their skills through experiential learning in a fun and safe workshop and studio environment.

Additional opportunities for individual tuition cater for those students whose skills require more specific attention. Students explore performance from the perspective of an actor, director and designer. Skills are taught and consolidated through play building and script work as girls experience a variety of performance styles. They begin to think creatively about characterisation and staging as the course steers them to the realisation that they are the major source of creative input. Solo and group projects encourage confidence and cooperation. In addition to developing performance techniques, the girls learn stagecraft and an appreciation of costuming and choreography, and, as they study theatre technology, they explore the power of lighting and sound in a performance context. Drama encourages students to think about and develop skills associated with theatrical performances, and to explore their perceptions and creative responses to the world around them. Through modelling, girls learn the value of self-discipline and team building.

Media Studies at St Hilda’s is at the forefront of media education in Western Australia. The Media Department is equipped with state of the art digital filming and editing equipment that enables students to work either individually or in collaboration with others on the production of their film texts. Media Production and Analysis or, MPA, explores the way that mass media texts address their audiences and construct representations of worlds that have the potential to shape the way we see issues, events, people and the world in which we live. The mass media comprise the most powerful communication systems in the world. They include film, television, radio, newspapers, magazines and new and emerging multimedia technologies and the Internet. MPA does not celebrate these institutions, nor does it attack them. MPA simply seeks the truth in the way they work and aims to give us, the viewers/consumers, the tools to understand it for ourselves. It provides useful links to a range of other subjects, especially English, English Literature, Political and Legal Studies, History, Drama and Art. The media are an important part of our culture. They give us entertainment and information; they tell us stories about ourselves and others. They produce works that are enjoyed and appreciated by audiences for their beauty, their entertainment or interest value, their ingenuity and originality. The media can amuse us, stimulate us, move us and, at times, upset or anger us; at the same time, they provide discussion and the development of opinions, points of view and values. They have immense power to permeate our culture, informing the way we perceive ourselves and our world. Access to a wide range of media texts will enable students to understand the capacity of the media and will stimulate creativity in their own productions. The breadth of the MPA course content reflects the importance of media skills and understandings to so many aspects of contemporary life. The media are central to entertainment, information dissemination, communication and education and so they are of fundamental importance in defining the ways we see ourselves and others. Media texts both reflect and shape the values of the society for which they are produced, thus media analysis can provide critical insights into the culture and values of one’s own society as well as an appreciation of the values of other cultures.

In Year 10, girls prepare for subject selection for Year 11, and they complete units in Economics, Geography, History and Politics and Law. In Years 11 and 12, girls can choose from four WA Certificate of Education subjects – Economics, Geography, History and Politics and Law. Students have access to a wide range of print and non-print resources to allow them to extend their knowledge. They are encouraged to make use of information technology for both research and communication of their findings. Fieldwork is an important component of investigation and is incorporated into all subject areas. This takes many forms, from hands-on experience discovering mineral resources at Kalgoorlie and watching debates in the House of Representatives in Canberra during the Year 7 class trips, to the Year 12 geography camp which explores aspects of human geography in the South West. Girls are also given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of cocurricular activities and competitions at all levels. Some of these are specific to Year groups and include the Tournament of Minds, History Club, Environmental Club, Mock Trials and Amnesty International.

The most able students participate in national and state mathematics competitions for extension, while students who are challenged by the abstract nature of the subject work in small groups to a modified curriculum. The latest technology, including electronic whiteboards, enables students to visually explore mathematical concepts to promote quicker and deeper understanding. For example, when exploring π (pi) - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - teachers are able to visually roll out the circumferences of circles of different sizes to illustrate the consistent relationship between the circumference and the diameter. Girls use graphic and CAS (Computer Algebra System) calculators to study practical and real applications in depth and students are encouraged to become comfortable risk-takers in independent problem solving. Electronic mathematics textbooks are available on St Hilda’s Portal and are accessible from home, complete with a guide to the week’s work. No maths student at St Hilda’s can ever use the excuse that she has left her homework at school or she doesnt know what she should be doing!

Staff are influenced by developmental theorists Erikson, Piaget, Gardner, Vygotsky and Smilansky’s work on the role of children’s play in learning, and by the example of the pre-schools and infant toddler centres of Reggio Emilia in Italy. The curriculum framework and outcomes, learning areas, our culture, society, family and values are all factors in the teachers programming. Teachers work together to plan collaborative projects which involve all the girls and boys. The children benefit from specialist classes in the Library, music, languages and physical education. French is taught to Kindergarten classes to instil a love for languages at an early age. The Learning Environment is the starting point for developing independent and confident learners who feel safe and comfortable.

In 1898 the Misses Elizabeth and May Allen took charge of the School. It was decided to move the School, first to the Congregational Hall and later to the Parish Hall in Claremont and to name it Claremont Ladies College. When Miss Melina Parnell purchased it in 1904, it was renamed Girls High School. After Miss Parnells retirement in 1926, the Anglican Church, keen to found an Anglican school for girls in the Claremont, Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove areas, acquired the Girls High School. Three years later it was renamed and transferred to Bay View Terrace, Mosman Park. On Sunday, 22 March, 1931, the Governor of Western Australia, Sir William Campion, officially opened the School and the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Henry Frewer Le Fanu, dedicated it with the name of St Hildas Church of England School for Girls. St Hildas began under the direction of Miss Catherine Small with 54 pupils from the Girls High School and 45 new pupils. Miss Small developed the School into a well known Western Australian girls school despite the difficulties for schools during the Depression and during World War II when the boarders were evacuated to Bencubbin. Miss Una Mitchell became Headmistress in 1947 and, until her retirement in 1967, she guided the School through another period of major growth and development. During the period that Miss Patman was Headmistress of the School, 1969 to 1975, a number of important developments occurred. The Roger Goode Centre and the Una Mitchell Building provided excellent new facilities; the purchase of Grand View House was an important addition to the school grounds and Cultural Day was introduced. Mrs Rita McGregor was Headmistress from 1976 - 1979. Mrs June Jones, took up the appointment of Principal in 1980. In 1981 the School, renamed St Hildas Anglican School for Girls, celebrated its Jubilee year on the Mosman Park site. The School confirmed its commitment to the example of St Hilda, and honoured guests at the celebrations were the Headmistress of St Hildas School, Whitby, Sister Barbara Maude, and Sister Jean, a relative of Mrs Jones. The ties between our School and St Hildas Whitby, were further strengthened by the visit in 1985 of Mother Janet, Prioress of the Order of the Holy Paraclete, and Sister Jean. Since 1980 enrolment has increased rapidly in both the Junior and Senior Schools to around 1000 in 2005. There have been major changes in the curriculum and in the life of the School. An extensive building programme was undertaken, and is continuing. A new Library and English Studies Centre, a new Science Centre and a new Junior School have been built. There have been major renovations to the Boarding Houses, the Kindergarten/Pre-School Centre and the original building of the School, Catherine House. In 1989 and 1990, extensive renovations to the oval and Roger Goode Centre were followed by the building of a Mathematics Centre, an Administration Centre, a Staff Curriculum Centre, a Dining Hall, Kitchen, Health Centre and accommodation for the Senior Resident Mistress. In 1990 a Chapel Appeal was launched and in September, the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Dr Peter Carnley, laid the foundation stone to celebrate the Schools centenary. A commemorative plaque was installed in the footpath on Stirling Highway, opposite Christ Church, at the site of the first school which was established in 1896. Mrs Joy Shepherd was appointed Principal of St Hilda’s from 1998. During her first years at the School, she restructured the pastoral care programme and firmly entrenched the notion of St Hilda’s as a place of personal excellence. The development of a Master Plan to guide the building and refurbishment of the school campuses has been a major focus. An unexpected challenge arose in 2000 when fire damaged parts of the Boarding House, which was rebuilt to house Languages and Drama By the beginning of 20      ");

Since 1896, the School has encouraged girls to follow their dreams by offering opportunities for life. St Hilda’s mission is to ensure that every girl becomes the best she can be. Stories of individual challenge, persistence and achievement are testimony to the philosophy of St Hilda’s. These stories are evident in individual TEE and INSTEP results, at every music concert, art exhibition, drama production, sports day, arts festival event and much more. They are the results of a school that provides the opportunity for each student to strive for personal excellence. How does St Hilda’s do this? St Hilda’s is a community of learners. We know that learning never stops and it is therefore important that St Hilda’s students learn alongside highly committed adults who are also learning. Throughout this website you will see examples of how St Hilda’s teachers constantly seek and test potentially better practices. High expectations of students. St Hilda’s believes strongly that all students are capable of achieving. By setting explicit academic goals, providing frequent feedback, supporting and encouraging self-motivation, students will learn and achieve. St Hilda’s provides students with opportunities to learn.

For Old Scholars and past and current parents, being a member of one or more of the support groups provides an opportunity to meet new people, establish friendships and be part of life at the School. The GHS and St Hildas Old Scholars Association (OSA) has over 6000 old scholars registered on the data base which grows each year as the Year 12 leavers are welcomed into the Association. Through the Association, past students can keep in touch with each other and with the School. Membership of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association (P&F) comprises all parents of St Hilda’s students. A committee is elected at the end of every year to represent the School community. The aim of the Association is to involve parents in social functions for friendship, fun and fundraising. Events include the Sundowner, Quiz Night and the highly anticipated Art Exhibition. The St Hilda’s Auxiliary, a large sub-group of the P&F, coordinates smaller support groups of parents who help in the Library, Music, Drama and Sport, and is a focal point for class parents. The Auxiliary has a very busy agenda of functions including an annual Fashion Parade. For parents whose daughters have graduated from St Hilda’s, and who are not old scholars themselves, the Whitby Parents’ Association is a wonderful forum for retaining and renewing friendships made during their tenure as school parents. This group also plays an active role in helping the School. Events, meetings and functions of all the support groups are regularly posted in the News and Events section of this website and school newsletters.

All pumped up for African kids Study of the Swan River fitted neatly into an African project for Year 5 girls at St Hildas Junior School. While studying water preservation and studying the river, the girls raised money to buy a water pump for a school in South Africa. Year 5 teacher Tonia Ranford visited Africa in the school holidays and took the opportunity to pass on the donation. Two years ago, Millennium Kids visited Ntshidi Primary School in Mafikeng, South Africa. The children told them they would love a pump at the school so they could access water to grow their own food. The pump is no ordinary water pump ­ it is a roundabout pump that will pump water as the kids play on the roundabout. St Hildas Year 5s have been focusing on sustainability on a local and global scale. There are many parallels and similar issues with Ntshidi Primary School with their own Molopo River, Tonia said. St Hildas girls raised 800, about a third of the total cost of the pump, by selling popcorn at school. The girls had to promote the popcorn sale in assembly and made advertising posters that they put up around the school. The girls in Tonias class also made dolls.     ");

Construction will not have an impact on other aspects of the curriculum. At this stage, we expect the pool to be completed by September 2010. I will be taking the second half of my Long Service Leave between 5 August and 7 September. Dr Pam Garnett and Mrs Diana Stanley will be acting Principals in my absence as they have done previously. Best wishes to you all for a satisfying Term 3. I look forward to catching up in September with all you have achieved. Mrs Joy Shepherd    Chaplains Message This term my focus is especially on students and their faith journeys, especially those who are thinking about being confirmed in Week 9. I look forward to a term of shared discovery of the ways in which God works in our lives, and of seeking God’s blessing as the journey towards the truth of God continues. Any students who are still considering confirmation are welcome to come along to the meetings to find out more. I welcome all, whether or not their background is Christian. The Chapel organ has recently received some long-awaited attention. Since its installation, it has been very hard to tune because of limited space, and the carpeted floor has deadened the acoustic response. Now the whole organ has been moved forward and reflective panels have been installed on the walls behind, to prevent sound being absorbed into the sponge-like stone walls. Various electronic improvements have been made, as is normal after more than ten years’ service, and a beautiful new jarrah floor was installed in the July holidays. The whole instrument sounds much brighter, and ease of access will mean fewer visits by the tuners and a more stable sound. Looking around the instrument’s insides, I was reminded of my first holiday job, aged 12, cleaning organ pipes and visiting churches all over Dorset (UK), from tiny villages to large towns, tuning and maintaining organs. Organs are fascinating pieces of machinery as well as musical instruments, and they are relatively rare in Western Australia. I look forward to hearing it played as      ");

Three exchange students from France, Marie-Amelie Pasdeloup, Coline Schewin and Lucyl Staub will be St Hildas students for the first three weeks of term. Four new members of staff join us for the term, replacing teachers on leave: Mary Crielly, ICT/Multimedia replacing Basil Psanoudakis Penny Gilmour, ELC replacing Liz Binder Carla Sullivan, ELC replacing Ginette Barry Neda Zare, ELC replacing Alex Hof Already life is busy. Rowers, buoyed by the camp during the holidays, are working towards the final regattas.Saturday 1 August was the first regatta at Champion Lakes. St Hildas was host school and, helped by beautiful weather, the morning was a great success. Thank you to the parents in the Rowing Support Group for all their hard work. On Friday 24 July, Year 11 students and their partners enjoyed a Cirque de Soleil theme for their dance. The School Hall was transformed by a team of parents led by Mandy McFarland, and school maintenance staff. Thank you to parents, the Head of Year 11, tutors and other staff who worked so hard to make the evening such a success. This years production, The Sound of Music, opened at the Octagon Theatre, UWA, on Tuesday 4 August for three nights. Senior school students and staff were treated to a preview in assembly and clearly it is going to be an outstanding show. Get your tickets via the school website now. Term 3 will see work start on the long-awaited swimming pool which will be constructed adjacent to the car park to the west of the Roger Goode. The first stage will begin in mid-August, with the drilling of a geothermal bore to heat the 51.5 meter pool, and eventually other buildings on the Bay View Campus.

What an enormous amount we all manage to achieve in such a short time. Progress Reports As I read progress reports for senior school students I am reminded again of the strong learning environment which is at the heart of St Hildas. We acknowledge that students come with different aptitudes, gifts and talents. What we expect from them at St Hildas is that they learn to appreciate their individual strengths and weaknesses, to set themselves challenging goals and work hard to achieve them. St Hildas teachers are highly skilled at supporting students where they are with their learning. They are wonderfully enthusiastic and give generously of their time and wisdom to help students achieve their goals. Year 12 Production The Year 12 Production was one of the terms highlights. Entitled An Audit of Life, the evening comprised a series of six original student devised pieces. Students wrote, designed, produced and directed the short plays using Becketts absurdist text Waiting for Godot as a springboard. The pieces were all quite different and provided a fascinating insight to our Year 12s critique of contemporary society. I was stunned by the quality. IGGSA Swimming The IGSSA Swimming Carnival was held at Challenge Stadium on 14 March. The change of venue from Beatty Park meant student spectators were not part of the carnival as in the past. It did mean that all interested parents and staff could attend. The standard of competition was extremely high with many new records being set. The St Hildas team had been training since Term 4 and was a force to be reckoned with throughout the Carnival. We finished a strong 3rd (775) behind Penrhos (796) and Iona (865). Year Camps Term 1 has also been a busy term for camps with Years 6, 7, 8 and 9 enjoying a range of off-campus activities. Year 6 enjoyed three days at Woodman Point, Year 7 returned from Kalgoorlie last weekend, Year 8 stayed closer to home at the Ern Halliday camp and Year 9s spent four days based around Collie and four days at school completing a positive thinking skills program. At St Hildas, the camp program is carefully sequenced to build a range of skills including team work, leadership, resilience and positive coping strategies. The goals are clearly articulated and interrogated by students. Their learning is transferred back to everyday school life through the tutorial program in the senior school and the leadership program in Year 6. The camps are a crucial part of the St Hildas experience rather than a fun addon. Contemporary Art Fair 27 ­ 29 March Congratulations and thank you to Mandy McFarland and her staff and the Art Fair Committee of dedicated parents who transformed the Chidley Cortile into a stunning art gallery last weekend. This new approach to St Hildas wellestablished Art Exhibition was a huge success showcasing St Hildas as a progressive, modern and professional organization. I look forward to seeing many families on Arts Festival Day ­ Thursday 9 April for the culmination of our term-long celebration of the performing arts. Enjoy the holidays CHAPLAINS NEWS As Term 1 draws to a close, we approach the Christian festival of Easter. On the same day we celebrate one of the climaxes of the annual Arts Festival and the Christian Church in the West commemorates the Last Supper and the betrayal of Jesus. What is being celebrated on both occasions is the fellowship of communities. Our own School community recently demonstrated this by raising nearly 7000 for the Bushfire Appeal, and on behalf of the Red Cross I thank you for your contributions. The community gathered at the first Last Supper nearly 2000 years ago had little idea of the impact their shared meal would have on the world. Judass betrayal and the death of Jesus the next day would bring victory over death and hope in the face of suffering. As they comforted each other in the days after Good Friday, by sharing their stories of Jesus, the presence of the risen Christ was giving new en      ");

Year 12 students have completed their Semester 1 exams and are learning a great deal by reviewing their exam papers. There is much they can do in the coming weeks to optimise their end-of-year performances. Teachers are preparing Semester 1 reports for all students. Reports will be discussed at parent interviews for Junior School students; an excellent opportunity for the important school/home partnership to develop further. Older students will be reflecting on their learning and have the opportunity to share their progress with parents at the end of term. The Year 10 Information Evening on 15 June provided students and their families with vital guidelines to subject selection for Years 11 and 12. With WACE requirements changing considerably from year to year, there is much to absorb. Please don’t hesitate to contact Dr Garnett or me if you have queries. The School community has been treated to a feast of musical evenings recently. Congratulations to staff and students who participated in the Ensembles Concert, the Junior School Music Concert, the Year 7 Music Showcase and the Strings Concert. It is wonderful to see so many students enjoying performance opportunities at such a high standard. If you missed those or would like more, be sure to come to the Jazz Night on Friday 26 June. Confirmation A reminder that this year’s Confirmation Service is on Thursday morning 17 September. Any senior school student who wishes to be confirmed at school should contact Father Toby now. With every good wish    Chaplains Message Confirmation 2009 Have you ever felt that your daughter needs a special blessing to help meet the challenges of life as an adolescent, or to give strength and resilience as she leaves school for the outside world? Each year we are pleased to welcome the Archbishop of Perth, The Most Revd Roger Herft, to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to senior school students. Confirmation is a special blessing which confirms the promises made by children or their parents and godparents at their Baptism (Christening) to turn to Christ, repent of sins and renounce evil. All these give candidates a sense of God’s life at work in them, to promote positive decision-making, focused on the goodness and light of Christ. Candidates are anointed with the oil of Chrism to seal them with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and as a sign of God’s blessing for their continuing journey of exploration, questioning and reflecting on the Christian faith. All students from Years 8-12, whether or not they have a Christian upbringing or background, are welcome to explore the possibility of Confirmation. A Confirmation group meets throughout Term 3, in the open-minded, welcoming atmosphere in which we conduct religious education at St Hilda’s. Discussion is helped by the provision of a free lunch! I encourage all girls to consider Confirmation as an opportunity offered by the School as part of the Anglican family. It is also available to parents who are interested in pursuing the Christian faith. Please contact me if you have any questions. Sacristan Camp Fifteen sacristans from Years 6-10 recently enjoyed a camp at New Norcia, Australia’s only Monastic town. This is a long-standing tradition which I have been able to revive this year, with assistance from the Outdoor Education Department, and Mrs Belinda Hill and Mrs Kerry Satchwell of the RAPS Department. Thank you to them all for giving their time to enable such a positive and fruitful experience for the girls. Sacristans are a valuable part of the School; they give their time and effort to ensure the smooth running of Chapel services. Those who attended were rewarded with great food, relaxation time and the unique experiences offered by the heritage and spirituality of New Norcia. Most importantly, they were able to strengthen friendships across age groups, and develop their skills as Sacristans for the bene      ");

Year 12 students have completed their Semester 1 exams and are learning a great deal by reviewing their exam papers. There is much they can do in the coming weeks to optimise their end-of-year performances. Teachers are preparing Semester 1 reports for all students. Reports will be discussed at parent interviews for Junior School students; an excellent opportunity for the important school/home partnership to develop further. Older students will be reflecting on their learning and have the opportunity to share their progress with parents at the end of term. The Year 10 Information Evening on 15 June provided students and their families with vital guidelines to subject selection for Years 11 and 12. With WACE requirements changing considerably from year to year, there is much to absorb. Please dont hesitate to contact Dr Garnett or me if you have queries. The School community has been treated to a feast of musical evenings recently. Congratulations to staff and students who participated in the Ensembles Concert, the Junior School Music Concert, the Year 7 Music Showcase and the Strings Concert. It is wonderful to see so many students enjoying performance opportunities at such a high standard. If you missed those or would like more, be sure to come to the Jazz Night on Friday 26 June. Confirmation A reminder that this years Confirmation Service is on Thursday morning 17 September. Any senior school student who wishes to be confirmed at school should contact Father Toby now.

Chaplain Confirmation 2009 Have you ever felt that your daughter needs a special blessing to help meet the challenges of life as an adolescent, or to give strength and resilience as she leaves school for the outside world? Each year we are pleased to welcome the Archbishop of Perth, The Most Revd Roger Herft, to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to senior school students. Confirmation is a special blessing which confirms the promises made by children or their parents and godparents at their Baptism (Christening) to turn to Christ, repent of sins and renounce evil. All these give candidates a sense of Gods life at work in them, to promote positive decision-making, focused on the goodness and light of Christ. Candidates are anointed with the oil of Chrism to seal them with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and as a sign of Gods blessing fo      ");

Catrina from Millennium Kids has returned to conduct our second Millennium Kids Conference. During the conference she talked about a special water pump that is a roundabout wizzy that pumps water while the children play. One will be set up by Millennium Kids and Mrs Tonia Ranford who is visiting the village of Ntshidi in South Africa during the school holidays. Mrs Ranford will be using her professional development prize from the Year 5s participation in the Scitech 2008 Young Inventors competition. To follow her and the Millennium Kids team as they venture to the African Continent log onto www.mklookingforwater.blogspot.com During the conference, the students discussed how lucky we are to live in a country with clean water, clean air, good food, shelter, transport, education, modern technologies, good health and a robust medical service. And it so important that we do not take all this for granted. Having all these wonderful things comes at a cost to the environment, with water and energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions at a very high level. Last year the students compared their own carbon footprint to those of a child living in a village in Africa. They also compared their carbon footprint with their grandparents when they were children. Both of these comparisons revealed some very big differences. We can reduce our big carbon footprint by learning some simple things to do in our own homes. Log onto www.acfonline.org.au and scroll down to Consumption Atlas, to see how we consume resources and how we emit pollution. As Western Suburbs inhabitants, we rank very highly as the greatest consumers and the greatest polluters. With this in mind, we are involved in the Big Switch Experiment, where students and their parents will monitor their consumption at home. As part of the Sustainability focus, we have some other projects happening: as a school we have adopted Ladner Park and are revegetating it with indigenous plants. Students gave seeds to their grandparents and honorary grandparents on Grandparents Day to take care of until we can plant the seedlings. Catrina guided the classes to look at ways in which we can investigate the local environment, such as looking for natural signs of life and by observing human impact on the local flora and fauna, in the past and in the present. As a result the students have indicated that they wish to be guardians of the wind, sea, land, animals, plants, sun and soil so we will work on being advocates and work to make sure that these precious elements are cared for. One of the ways in which we are looking after the air as well as developing fitness and sense of community is our St Hildas Walking Bus. More students are participating and, after the very successful National Walk to Schools Safely and Host a Healthy Breakfast Event held on Friday 15 May, we are pleased to reduce the use of petrol and reduce car emissions. We also have families who bus, train and carpool and students who ride their bikes to school. A bike riding course has started at St Hildas to encourage students to use this as a mode of transport. The students develop competent bike handling and bike maintenance skills as well as road safety. Students can ensure that their parents have shopping bags in the car and hence reduce or even eliminate the use of plastic shopping bags. This was promoted by Mr Phil Buzzard from our local IGA store who presented his reason for going `No Plastic Shopping Bags due to his concern for the animals that were affected by such items in the habitat. There has been such a buzz around the whole schools connection to the local environment. This rich learning experience provides a wonderful vehicle for reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, science, geography, history, economics, cultural studies, getting fit and healthy, art, drama and even music and languages. How amazing it is to be a student, parent or staff member at St Hildas. Julie QuanSing-Rowlands H      ");

The short answer is, virtually nothing, if by Easter we mean the Christian festival of Jesus resurrection on the first Easter Sunday. In the English language, the old Pagan festivals name Eostre has remained, despite the change of celebration from that of Spring and fertility, to the triumphant resurrection of Jesus. In other languages, derivatives such as Pascha, from the Hebrew Pesach, meaning Passover, are used.

At Easter, Christians celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus, which put an end to the need for sacrifices. This is why he is known as the Lamb of God. Christians, who are tired of their innocent and meaningful festivals being hijacked by the retail trade, have launched a new range of Easter chocolate in the shape of lambs, with a short explanation on the box of the significance of a lamb for the Christian Church.

For 112 years, St Hildas and the Girls High School before it, have provided young women with the opportunity to be educated, enthused and empowered; to make the very best of their God-given talents and to use them to make a difference in the world. In 2008, dedicated and skilled educators have continued to shape St Hildas innovative, challenging and differentiated JK-12 curriculum so that every student can experience success. In response, we expect our students to become resilient, independent learners who strive for personal excellence and the common good. Before we can influence others, we need to challenge ourselves. We need to be restless with where we are as individuals. I am constantly proud of the way St Hildas students set challenges for themselves. They enter tough Mathematics competitions, they sit international Science exams and undertake research projects, they write lyrically and at times confrontingly, they perform professional concerto moments, compose music for their own bands, produce works of art which push conventional forms and make us reflect, they train hard in a range of sports. St Hildas provides both the opportunities and the nurturing environment which supports their endeavours. Let me illustrate my point with an example from the Junior School. Sustainability was one curriculum focus this year. Students from Pre-primary to Year 6 used knowledge acquired through Science, and Society and Environment to pose questions about the relative sustainability of different communities. This led to research into climate change and other environmental issues. With the support of an old scholar who founded Millennium Kids, all Junior School students became involved in this world-wide organisation in which young people work together to make a difference. Audits of the School and home environments followed, ideas for change were shared and sustainability projects initiated. Later, some students participated in the WA Youth Environment Conference to share their knowledge and problem-solving skills on a wider stage. 1 With such a rich academic programme throughout the School, it is not surprising that graduating students achieve excellent results. The 2007 Leavers were no exception. Of those who sat the Tertiary Entrance Examination, 99% were eligible for university entrance. In addition, 5 of the 7 students who completed the Wholly School Assessed programme were eligible for university preparation courses. 16% of St Hildas students were in the top 1% in the State. 57% in the top 10% and a remarkable 66% in the top 33%. St Hildas students gained 3 General Exhibitions and 21 Certificates of Distinction. All INSTEP students completed their Structured Work Based Learning and several also gained a Certificate II in Hospitality. I emphasize the achievements of St Hildas graduates because they reflect the hard work and determination of students, the support of their families and the exceptional commitment and professionalism of our teachers. Please join me in acknowledging the combined efforts of students, families and teachers in continuing St Hildas culture of personal excellence. Three members of staff who have served our students with great dedication for a combined total of 18 years leave us tonight. Karl Guest came from darkest London in 2004 as Head of Religious and Philosophical Studies. He returns to gray days, that other football and ploughmans lunches to be a Boarding Master at Hampshire Collegiate School. During his time with us, in addition to rekindling a love of philosophy in our students, Karl embraced surfing and other spectacularly Aussie past times. Sue Donaldson is an upper primary teacher whose 120% commitment to her students is legendary. During her 6 years at St Hildas she has initiate      ");

MOST schools would be happy just to have one national representative in the student body, but St Hildas Anglican School for Girls boasts three international sailing stars. Year 9 students Ragna Agerup, Maia Agerup and Georgia Thompson are all part of the 2009 Australian team, after placing in the top 20 at the Open National Optimist Sailing Championships in January. The race featured 130 sailors from eight countries, and despite the trying conditions, all three came up trumps to secure their spots in the squad. For Thompson, its her second time in the team, but the thrill wasnt any less this time around. It was amazing, she said of her selection. The 14-year-old was the 17th Aussie across the line at the nationals, despite struggling with the elements. It was the windiest conditions Ive ever been in; the waves were massive so you couldnt see the boat in front of you, she recalled. Twin sisters Ragna and Maia Agerup moved to Australia from Norway last year, and are thrilled to be representing their new home country. I was really happy, and so excited, Maia said, after she initially thought shed missed selection. I saw I was coming 18th, and I thought `Oh no, but luckily they changed it from top 15 to top 20, so I made it, she said. Ragna, fresh from a sailing clinic in Barcelona, finished tenth, and will travel to New Zealand this month to compete in their nationals. Im not sure how Ill go, good I hope, she said. Its going to be really windy there, but Im getting used to it now. The girls will now represent Australia at international sailing events including the Singapore and New Zealand nationals, and the Asian and European Open Championships. Thompson has plenty of international experience under her belt, having competed overseas at several events last year, including the Singapore Nationals, where she came 70th in a field of more than 300. It was a really good experience; it all happened so fast when I look back on it now, she said. All three now have their sights set on a place at next years World Championships.     ");

What an enormous amount we all manage to achieve in such a short time. Progress Reports As I read progress reports for senior school students I am reminded again of the strong learning environment which is at the heart of St Hilda’s. We acknowledge that students come with different aptitudes, gifts and talents. What we expect from them at St Hilda’s is that they learn to appreciate their individual strengths and weaknesses, to set themselves challenging goals and work hard to achieve them. St Hilda’s teachers are highly skilled at supporting students where they are with their learning. They are wonderfully enthusiastic and give generously of their time and wisdom to help students achieve their goals. Year 12 Production The Year 12 Production was one of the term’s highlights. Entitled An Audit of Life, the evening comprised a series of six original student devised pieces. Students wrote, designed, produced and directed the short plays using Beckett’s absurdist text Waiting for Godot as a springboard. The pieces were all quite different and provided a fascinating insight to our Year 12s’ critique of contemporary society. I was stunned by the quality. IGGSA Swimming The IGSSA Swimming Carnival was held at Challenge Stadium on 14 March. The change of venue from Beatty Park meant student spectators were not part of the carnival as in the past. It did mean that all interested parents and staff could attend. The standard of competition was extremely high with many new records being set. The St Hilda’s team had been training since Term 4 and was a force to be reckoned with throughout the Carnival. We finished a strong 3rd (775) behind Penrhos (796) and Iona (865). Year Camps Term 1 has also been a busy term for camps with Years 6, 7, 8 and 9 enjoying a range of off-campus activities. Year 6 enjoyed three days at Woodman Point, Year 7 returned from Kalgoorlie last weekend, Year 8 stayed closer to home at the Ern Halliday camp and Year 9s spent four days based around Collie and four days at school completing a positive thinking skills program. At St Hilda’s, the camp program is carefully sequenced to build a range of skills including team work, leadership, resilience and positive coping strategies. The goals are clearly articulated and interrogated by students. Their learning is transferred back to everyday school life through the tutorial program in the senior school and the leadership program in Year 6. The camps are a crucial part of the St Hilda’s experience rather than a fun add-on. Contemporary Art Fair 27 – 29 March Congratulations and thank you to Mandy McFarland and her staff and the Art Fair Committee of dedicated parents who transformed the Chidley Cortile into a stunning art gallery last weekend. This new approach to St Hilda’s well-established Art Exhibition was a huge success showcasing St Hilda’s as a progressive, modern and professional organization. I look forward to seeing many families on Arts Festival Day – Thursday 9 April for the culmination of our term-long celebration of the performing arts. Enjoy the holidays    Chaplains Message As Term 1 draws to a close, we approach the Christian festival of Easter. On the same day we celebrate one of the climaxes of the annual Arts Festival and the Christian Church in the West commemorates the Last Supper and the betrayal of Jesus. What is being celebrated on both occasions is the fellowship of communities. Our own School community recently demonstrated this by raising nearly 7000 for the Bushfire Appeal, and on behalf of the Red Cross I thank you for your contributions. The community gathered at the first Last Supper nearly 2000 years ago had little idea of the impact their shared meal would have on the world. Judas’s betrayal and the death of Jesus the next day would bring victory over death and hope in the face of suffering. As they comforted each other in the days after G      ");

It is forecast that this year is will be a time of stability, with promise of steady expansion. Matters proceed happiest along established lines and there may be little by way of innovation.

For example, in business matters, it is important to get the signature on the contract, whether yours or others, without delay. So with the many plans last year, we are well placed to develop the historical, cultural and environmental projects in relation to our local community. Our local area is such a rich resource which allows our students to apply their knowledge and skills in a real context. For example, very close by is the place of the first meeting of explorers and aboriginal people, there are the tunnels used during the war, and caves that were used by people during hard times. There is evidence of ways in which the aboriginal people lived off the land in an integrated and harmonious manner to maintain and conserve its longevity, and examples of the native flora that supported their diet. There are also places that have been cleared for industry, and native bushland that is in need of renewing. The river provides a great resource for students to study its changing direction, its use as a water way and the quality and composition of its water then and now. As the focus for our Sustainability of Culture, Economic and Environment activities, the local area provides places for the action that empowers students to make a difference. They will then learn how to translate their knowledge and skills to the wider community and eventually at a global level. The students will keep you informed about their work on various sustainability projects such as measuring water quality, identifying invertebrates, renewing the indigenous flora, learning about the local animals, re-enacting cultural events, and comparing the carbon footprint and handprint of the past and present. The Sustainability Ambassadors will communicate the School’s endeavours at various assemblies and in electronic newsletters. We all look forward to working together to reduce our carbon footprint and handprint both at school and at home and I wish you a productive and rewarding year. I look forward to our ongoing work as a connected carbon-neutral community.

In the Whole School Newsletter I have written some reflections on the Victorian Bushfires to which so many of you have responded with financial and practical donations. It is a sign that we are a community of compassion, empathy and generosity, founded upon those same qualities found in Jesus Christ. In the article I have included a prayer which you may find helpful as you reflect on the tragedy. Junior School services are joyful occasions to which all parents, friends and families are welcome. You are invited to receive Holy Communion or a blessing according to your belief and custom.

Hello everyone ­ I will introduce myself, as this is my first Chronicle Post contribution since being elected as President of the Old Scholars Association at the Annual General Meeting in September last year. My name is Denise Stransky and I am from the class of 1974. I follow Fiona Mckenzie (Haslam, 1974) as the 30th President of the Association. Fionas leadership was one of excellent housekeeping and one of her many achievements was to revise the Associations Constitution to be a less ambiguous document. Fionas contribution has always been professional and focussed and we thank you sincerely Fiona, for all that you have done for the OSA. My first task as President was to welcome nearly sixty 70+ Old Scholars to a most enjoyable morning tea and, if the chatter levels were anything to measure success by, then it quite possibly rated a 10/10! Joy Shepherd, Principal, joined the 70+ers immediately after the Junior School St Hildas Day service at St Georges Cathedral and introduced Eliza Leano, the Head of Art in the Senior School. Eliza spoke about the art programme at St Hildas and then guided the Old Scholars around the splendid Art Exhibition entitled `Out of the Box. In December last year I had the pleasure of presenting our newest (and youngest) Old Scholars with their Membership to the Old Scholars Association. It was a most delightful evening with 112 new Members being welcomed. The evening began with an enlightening Chapel service held by Father Toby and we then adjourned to the Chidley Cortile for the Valedictory Dinner. All the girls looked very glamorous and the evening was filled with much joy and happiness. Here I asked the girls to stay connected as they are a generation of prolific communicators using mobile phones, text messaging, video linking, skyping, emailing, facebook, YouTube, and/ or twitter! Almost all obliged immediately with their email details and we have encouraged them to visit us online at www.sthildas.wa.edu.au. I was also very pleased to be invited to address new families to St Hildas at the welcome morning teas held during the first week of Term. I was able to talk about the support which the OSA lends the School and highlight the fact that their children are in fact beginning their journey towards becoming Old Scholars. Both the Junior School and Senior School morning teas were very well attended and I was delighted to meet up with a few Old Scholars who had sent their daughters to their old school. St Hildas has again performed extremely well in the TEE and Instep. Congratulations to all the girls, their teachers and parents. The Committee No. 1 February 2009 and I offer our congratulations to Isadora Bogle (daughter of Past Old Scholar President Susy Bogle (Tregonning, 1974), and granddaughter of Judy Tregonning (Manford, 1946), who is Head Girl for 2009. I am also delighted to announce that the Year 11/12 Scholarship was shared between two outstanding girls; Laura Jacobs (daughter of Tina Kailis, 1979) and Rosie Viner (daughter of Jane EgertonWarburton, 1979). In May this year we are having our major fund-raising event for the year, the Bazaar to be held on Sunday, 3 May, the week before Mothers Day. There will be many stalls offering beautiful gifts and delicious snacks will be on sale during the day. This is a splendid event from 10.30 am ­ 2 pm at the Chidley Campus. We require ongoing funds for our Year 8 Scholarship and Year 11/12 Scholarship, as well as the production of the Chronicle Post, so please come and support your Association. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the Sundowner, the Bazaar, or perhaps the Country Lunch later this year. Denise Stransky (Lodge, 1974) dstransk@bigpond.net.au Stay Connected!

New students will be increasingly confident about where to go and who to ask when they have questions. They will feel part of their class or form group and be developing lasting friendships. All students should have set themselves goals for the year and should be relishing the challenges ahead. Several events are deliberately scheduled early in the year to hasten the settling in process for new and old students. The Year 6 camp was held in Week 2 so all students could spend some time together beyond the classroom prior to the election of Junior School Officials. Year 8 camp was held in Week 3 so new students could be integrated quickly and the newly divided tutor groups could engage in some team-building activities. The bush dance held on the last night under the direction of the Mucky Duck Bush Band proved a popular innovation and produced some interesting choreography. The Year 12 Ball was held at Challenge Stadium on Friday 27 March. It was a delightful occasion and, now it is over, all Year 12 students can focus on their academic work. Years 7-12 House Choirs culminates Thursday 5 March after a short, sharp rehearsal schedule. Student leaders have worked well with their Houses. Achieving a balance between academic work and the vast cocurricular program offered at St Hilda’s requires some thought. Teachers and parents will be sensitive to avoiding over-commitment, yet every year, there are some students who do not fully explore the opportunities. Their school experience is the poorer for it. Research confirms our observation that students who participate in a range of cocurricular activities are more engaged with their learning and their peers. They are more confident and positive about the School and their future directions. The possibilities range from the arts, music and sport to outdoor pursuits – even bell ringing. Just a few of the activities are mentioned in this Newsletter. Please talk to your daughter’s classroom teacher, tutor or Head of Year, if you would like some help in getting her started in a suitable activity. There are also many opportunities for parents to become involved in school life in ways which suit their interests and their schedules. See the support groups’ news in the newsletter or call Mandy McFarland in the Development office for more details. There are many ways for vital home/school partnerships to be established and strengthened. With every good wish Joy Shepherd    Chaplains Message When Abraham saw the burning bush, and heard the voice of God speaking, it did not burn away. In this mysterious event was the beginning of three monotheistic world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Abraham realised the enormity of his calling and took off his shoes as a sign of reverence for the holy ground on which he stood. At the other end of the Christian story, the book of Revelation describes one man’s vision of the end times, when Christ the King comes to reign over all creation. His eyes are described as flaming fire. Fire is used throughout the Bible as a sign of God’s power, but we must be careful not to interpret the Victorian Bushfires, as some religious people have already tried to do, as judgements from God. There is no doubt that God’s power becomes more noticeable in the face of such tragedies. In his presentation to a recent Senior School assembly, Steve Joske, the Director of the Red Cross, commented on the loving, humanitarian way in which people had responded with so many offers of help, both financial and practical. It sometimes takes tragedies like this to remind us how wrapped-up we are in our own very small worlds of family and close friends. Here we find support and comfort, and it is not a bad thing. But when we see those whose own support and comfort has been destroyed we remember our common life as humans and our common responsibility. As Abraham experienced, we stand on ho      ");

It was lovely to have record numbers of new and old families mingling in the humidity at Sunday’s Sundowner. I do hope new families were able to connect with parents in the same year. Boarding families, I know were able to make important contacts. Thank you to the Parents and Friends Association which hosted the event and to the Development Office team who supported it. I remind you of the New Parent Morning Teas this week which provide another opportunity for parents to meet each other. Junior School parents meet in the Cortile at Chidley at 10.00am on Thursday 5 February. Senior School parents meet in the Gallery on the Bay View campus on Friday at 10.00am. Students gain most from their school life when there is a real partnership between school and home. We welcome several new staff, more than usual because increased student numbers have meant additional classes. The Junior School now has its full complement of classes. Junior School: Ms Erin Jones, Ms Merrilee Jongsma, Mrs Jessica Nailer, Mrs Paula Nicholls, Mrs Kerry Pemberton, Mr Heath Pozzi and Miss Lisa Soroko and Mrs Susan Ashby Mrs Moira Main and Mrs Danielle Magaraggia swell the ranks of Education Assistants. Senior School: Mr Matthew Berry (Outdoor Education), Ms Charlotte Board (School Psychologist), Ms Nicola Dunn, Ms Alexandra Moreton (Science), Ms Simone Fleay (Languages), Ms Carolyn Gale (English), Mrs Stella Hodgson (Home Economics), Ms Clare Saunders, Ms Belinda Hill (RAPS), Ms Judy Stewart (SOSE) Miss Lauren Watson (PE) Over the holiday period, school staff and contractors have been busy with maintenance and new projects. The staged power upgrade which will set up the Bay View Terrace campus into the future, continues well. Main cables have been laid across the campus to the new transformer located in Butler Way and buildings on the north side will gradually be connected to it. Spaces which were refurbished at Bay View included upper Catherine House and a new textiles room. Several offices were relocated. Construction commenced on the Art Gallery which completes the new Visual Arts Department. The Chidley campus had some refreshing maintenance done. Grounds staff have worked tirelessly at both campus so our gardens and ovals are looking magnificent despite a hot January. Thank you to all staff involved. We congratulate our 2008 Leavers on fine TEE and INSTEP results. Students worked hard and were wonderfully supported by their dedicated teachers. More details of results can be found later in this newsletter. I look forward to working with students, staff and families to make 2009 a most rewarding year for all. With every good wish Joy Shepherd    Chaplains Message Domine dirige nos In preparing your daughter’s uniform for the new year, I wonder if you have spotted the School’s motto on the school crest. We see it so often it may go unnoticed. In case your Latin is not up to standard, the translation is Lord direct us. An ideal motto sums up an institution using very few words. The founders of St Hilda’s have ensured that we remain conscious of the faith that led them to establish a place of education for young women. It was their belief that God would guide and lead the School in the right direction. Today we can be pleased with the direction the School has taken and the many continuing successes we enjoy. People generally have a less ‘bossy’ view of God these days, but nonetheless, we look to God to direct our activities, perhaps in more discrete ways than the old-fashioned view that God pushes us around like puppets! The school year begins and ends with a celebration of the Eucharist: the Church’s celebration that God guides His people both in the words of the scriptures and through the sacraments, when we use outward signs to represent God’s grace working internally and invisibly. Services throughout each term continue this theme. In Religious and Philosophical Studies, students are encouraged to approach      ");

Year 12 leavers from Christ Church Grammar School and St Hildas went back to school last weekend and learned some new lessons ­ this time about caring and compassion. The 40 leavers acquired their new skills by looking after 21 disabled young people. The occasion was the Sony Camp for Kids, which aims to provide three days respite for the families of disabled children and fun for the children. Organiser Lisa Broxton said the respite couldnt come too soon for some families. Weve got parents who are going out to dinner together for the first time in 14 years, she said. Last year, another couple Leavers learn some lessons for life booked a weekend at a hotel for their first time alone in 15 years. Mrs Broxton said she went around schools during the year, finding children who would benefit from taking part. Activities like pool-based games, horse-riding, karaoke and disco, a movie night, a picnic, kite flying and a Christmas lunch with Santa, were organised for the 21 buddies, as the disabled children were called. The buddies, aged between eight and 18, stayed overnight in the boarding house at CCGS, with nursing staff seeing to their medical and personal care. Their disabilities ranged from cerebral palsy and Down syndrome to autism, intellectual disorders and acquired brain injuries. The students, known as companions and assistants, volunteered to work in teams of two to a buddy, making sure the buddies were cared for and enjoyed themselves. CCGS deputy headmaster Roger Bayly said it was eyeopening and transforming for students to devote themselves to caring for their buddies. They really get to appreciate the emotional energy needed to be a carer, he said. At the end of the day they are physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted. He said he had prepared the students with some simple advice. I told them, its not about you, its about them, he said. Mrs Broxton said the transformation in the students was remarkable. In the space of three days she saw them deepen in their skills and relationships, and become more selfless in their orientation. Im always inspired with how amazingly 17-year-olds cope, she said. The fact that they come back to school for three days, after their Leavers, is impressive, and during the camp they really develop compassion.     ");

Smile a lot, waste not Many children spend their school holidays sleeping in and going to the beach or movies ­ not getting up at 5.30am to clean, garden and build. A group of Christ Church Grammar School and St Hildas Anglican School Year 7 and 8 students went to an orphanage in Fiji for their last holidays. They cleaned, gardened and built for up to nine hours a day at St Christophers Home in Suva. They played with the local children and helped with their homework. The trip was part of the Pilgrimage of Hope initiative, coordinated by Christ Churchs Brother James. It gave students the chance to experience a different culture and learn to consider the needs of others. Charlie Evans, in Y ear 7, said he was excited and anxious. They come from a different culture and I was worried about saying something that might offend them, he said. But his fears vanished as soon as he arrived. There were smiles on all their faces and there was always lots of singing, he said. The students lived and worked at St Christophers, which is run by nuns. Most of the children are orphans or have been abused, neglected or abandoned by their families. A typical day began at 5.30am with prayer and finished with an hour of singing and evening prayer. Students were assigned duties including gardening, cleaning, repairing flyscreens and building a bike shed. Blair Ward said he wanted to find out why Fijian children he had seen in pictures were so happy. They sing from their hearts, he said. There was one kid who was sick, but even he was still smiling and singing. Charlie said returning home was an eye-opener. Now I eat every scrap of food on my plate, he said. I explained to my family how the children at the home dont waste anything, and now my mum and sister are doing it, too. He said the trip taught him to be gracious. Now, instead of asking myself `do I want it? I ask `do I really need it? Blair said: The pilgrimage has taught me to strive to be different. Dont just keep doing what you would normally do ­ get out and try something new. During these hodidays a different group of students and their fathers are on a Pilgrimage of Hope in Alice Springs. They are at the Yipirinya School, which is one of the few independent Aboriginal schools in Australia. It is controlled by an indigenous council and caters for students from the town camps of Alice Springs and bush communities.

The Art Gallery of WA was filled with 120 expectant florists, artists, designers, celebrities and students who had been invited to be a part of the biennial exhibition, Art in Bloom. Some gasped, some sighed, some cried with frustration or joy, as they were assigned a painting from the State Art Collection to inspire their floral skills. Art in Bloom, run by the Friends of the Art Gallery, is an opportunity for people to become floral artists using flowers, plants, fibres and fabrics to create arrangements inspired by works from the Art Gallery of WA. Its an opportunity for people to see the artworks in a different light, said coordinator Annie Silberstein. And it is a wonderful way to inspire debate and discussion on a painting and the way it has been interpreted. Drag queen and artist Strykermeyer was thrilled to be assigned Albert Tuckers dark and unsettling painting Assassin. It has inspired so many ideas that he has spent the I St Hildas Year10 visual art students Sophia Falco, Lauren Jacobs, Lucienne Burnham, Sophie Honey and Lily Shervington study the artist Imants Tillers for inspiration. I Albert Tucker Assassin 1954 oil on hardboard 62 x 81cm (sight) 75.3 x 94.2cm (framed) State Art Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia Purchased with funds from the Sir Claude Hotchin Art Foundation, 1997 © Albert Tucker 1954 weeks of preparation trying to simplify his design. Im particularly interested in the end of the dagger, Stryker said. For me the most important thing is the point of that dagger that ends one mans life but pierces the reality of those left behind. He has had too many friends die from Aids, not to feel that reality. Stryker, a self-taught visual and make-up artist, was invited to do the make-up on the Australian film, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, based on Stykers close friend Cindy Pastel. It won him a BAFTA award for best make-up. Bridget Waters was also delighted to see that the first of her four pieces of art was called The Lolly Tree. Bridget is a chef turned food artist who creates sculptures from food to explore ways of enjoying food other than consumption. She turned to art when she was sick and was unable to cook. Food is my passion, Bridget said. I was on a restricted diet so I learnt to appreciate it for its other qualities. Bridgets inspiration for Art in Bloom is a series of four ink-on-paper etchings by Aboriginal artist Laurel Nannup. Bridget will replicate the simple black and white childhood story pictures with black ink pasta and white sago. Five keen Year 10 art students from St Hildas have been selected by head art teacher Eliza Leano to work on a challenging piece. Imants Tillers series of canvas boards (#670-839) make up one huge artwork titled, The Great Metaphysical Interiors. Eliza described it as a challenging, meaty and robust work that has had the students designing a floral work that represents Tillers cultural references and grid-like topography. We will be using a variety of flowers and colours to represent the bringing together of many cultures, Eliza said. Art In Bloom has brought together many artists across a diverse range of cultural art forms ­ DJ Micah, Perth International Arts Festival director Shelagh I Food artist Bridget Waters: Highly Strung (squid ink pasta and dyed egg shells).

Local florists involved are Rebecca Grace from Natural Art in Nedlands, Andrea Geller from Bay View Flowers, Amelia Dempster from Poppy Florist and local galleries include Gadfly, Linton and Kay, Stafford Studios, Katie King from Esola, and Cottesloes Katherine Kalaf. Participants will create their works inside the gallery on Thursday, August 21, with every piece used in the creations carefully inspected and if necessary fumigated to prevent bugs from getting near the art collection.

First of all I would like to thank Mrs Shepherd for inviting me to speak to you tonight. It is a great honour to be asked back by the School to share with you some of my recent experiences and how they came about. I dont know if some of the girls remember me from school but it wasnt that long ago that I was in the same position that you are in here tonight. Especially the Year 12 girls, this is your last school commitment and then you are free to take whatever path you may choose. For me, I remember having just got back from Rottnest leavers the week before, and I was off to another water polo championship the next day. As a consequence I missed out on another trip with my friends down south. I remember being pretty disappointed at the time, thinking of all the fun they would be having without me. However, with the benefit of hindsight, I realise it was a small sacrifice for me to make to achieve my goal. Naturally, given the sacrifices briefly mentioned, almost immediately after stepping off the plane from Beijing I was out for dinner with those same girls who, four years earlier, I had seen go on that trip without me. It was interesting to see how the Olympics were portrayed at home, showing it was a big event to more than just the people competing. I was immediately asked `did I bring my medal? which was just as well because I was starting to think they wouldnt notice if I just left the medal and went home... this was then followed by `is it alright if I have a photo wearing it? And lastly the most important question, `was Eamon Sullivan upset that he and Stephanie Rice broke up? Well, I obliged with anwers to all of the above, and Im sure everyone has read enough about that last question. To be fair though, they did ask a lot of other questions about the games - whether the food was good, which it was, and if I saw a lot of famous people, which I guess I did. It is all a bit surreal when it happens though; half the time they were ten metres in the other direction before I realised, then maybe that is just me. Before I go into the Olympics, I would just like to share with you the journey that I took to reach Beijing. I was about 13 when I realised that water polo was something I had potential in. After my first trip interstate, my coach took me aside and told me that I had a lot of potential and that I reminded her of a young Bridgette Gusterson. This was a huge compliment as Bridgette Gusterson was the Captain of 2000 gold-medal-winning Sydney Olympic water polo team. As a 13-year-old in 2000 the most planning ahead I had done was for the next day; making a long term goal for the 2008 Olympics hadnt been on the agenda, so as you can imagine, I was a little daunted by the comparison. At this stage I was still playing other sports outside school, as well as being involved in music and drama. I had what I thought to be a pretty normal Year 8 life. As I went through school, water polo gradually started taking up more time. By the time I hit Year 11, I was going on about six trips a year and missing a bit of school. I always found though, the busier you are the better you become at managing your time - you cant really afford not to. Year 12 came around in no time and it was full on. Learning how to manage training before and after school was a challenge. As well as missing about four weeks of school, mostly around exams, was also a struggle. On top of that, all the responsibilities that come with being a School Official made Year 12 an interesting year for me, to say the least. I personally do not regret taking so much on. Year 12 for me, although clearly the busiest, was also the most enjoyable of my years at St Hildas; a notion Im sure all the girls leaving tonight will testify to. I made my first Australian team in my first year at university when I was 17, attending the 2005 World Cham      ");

The trip will be based on board the amazing Odyssey Expeditions vessel and is for qualified divers and/or those who have an interest in the marine environment. It is open to students in Years 10 and 11, parents, and old scholars. Please note that Year 11 students exams start the day after our return. The Rowley Shoals provides an opportunity to experience a diverse array of diving environments including lagoons, canyons, sheer vertical walls, high speed drifts and snorkelling. Although the exploration will provide SCUBA diving opportunities, it is not necessary to be a diver. You can experience swimming pool-like conditions 300kms from the nearest land, and an uninterrupted night sky filled with an unimaginable number of glittering stars. The Shoals are a chain of coral atolls on the edge of one of the widest continental shelves in the world. The three atolls have shallow lagoons inhabited by corals and abundant marine life. The coral atolls of the Rowley Shoals are famous for their almost untouched coral gardens, giant clams and other shellfish. Giant potato cod and maori wrasse wait to be hand fed and follow divers around, while morays, turtles, reef sharks, colourful reef fish, trevally, mackerel and tuna hover near by. An exceptional 233 species of coral and 688 species of fish inhabit the shoals. Rowley Shoals are among the few reefs in the world affected by a high tidal range providing some great drift diving and snorkelling experiences. The dramatic five-metre tides pour massive volumes in and out of the coral framework and have created unearthly and enchanting coralscapes. The turquoise lagoons are filled with coral bommies brimming with exotic tropical fish and unbelievably colourful formations. Please find attached information regarding the adventure. Enrolments will be accepted immediately, so please return your consent form as soon as possible. Please note that places are limited and enrolments will be accepted on a first-in basis.

The Senior School on Bay View Campus is bordered by Bay View Terrace to the east, Johnston Street to the north, Glyde Street to the south and Palmerston Street to the west. It is approximately one kilometre east of Stirling Highway, the main route between Perth City and Fremantle. The Junior School on Chidley Campus is located on the corner of McCabe and Owston Streets only minutes away. St Hildas is signposted at the t-junction of Glyde Street and Stirling Highway. Traffic lights at this intersection form a landmark for navigating to the Senior Campus. Likewise, there are traffic lights at the junction of McCabe Street and Stirling highway for navigating to the Junior Campus. Train The Mosman Park train station is strategically located at the Glyde Street /Stirling Highway intersection. The station is on the Perth to Fremantle line which connects the suburbs of Fremantle, North Fremantle, Cottesloe, Swanbourne, Claremont, Karrakatta, Shenton Park, Daglish, Subiaco, City West, West Leederville and Perth. Girls in other suburbs can catch trains on the Joondalup, Midland and/or Armadale lines to the city to connect with the train to Mosman Park. Girls can use pre-paid Student SmartRider cards which are plastic, credit card sized cards that you can add value to, to pay your fare on any Transperth bus, train or ferry. St Hildas Shuttle Service St Hildas runs a shuttle service to and from the Mosman Park train station. The shuttle picks girls up at the station car park at 7.55am and 8.15am and drops girls back at the station in the afternoon, leaving the School at 3.30pm and 3.45pm. Senior School students may prefer the 15-minute walk to or from the station to the School. St Hildas Southern Corridor Special Bus St Hildas currently runs a bus service to the southern suburbs. The morning route is along Leach highway to Winthrop and Bull Creek, north to Applecross and back along Canning Highway. The afternoon route is along South Street through Kardinya and Winthrop to Bull Creek and returns via Canning Highway. Students must use designated pick-up/drop off points to make use of this service. The cost is 2 per ride. This service can be accessed by both Senior and Junior School girls. In the afternoon, Junior School girls who catch the southern suburbs bus will catch the Transperth bus from Chidley to Bay View Campus to connect. Private Transport Many families prefer to travel to school by car. The Junior School main entry is off McCabe Street, the Junior Kindy and Kindy entry is off Owston Street and the Senior School main entry is off Bay View Terrace. Slip roads in Glyde and Palmerston Streets facilitate drop-off and pick-up of girls. Children in the Junior School who are not collected within 15 minutes of school finish time are taken to St Hildas Extend-ED where they will be supervised in safety until 6.00pm. Bike racks are provided for students who wish to ride their bikes to school. Bicycle helmets must be worn.

One of the results is the Daisy Chain girls, a group of firm friends determined to help a bunch of charities. On June 8, the quintet, from St Hildas Anglican School for Girls, will attempt to sprint up 53 flights of stairs to the top of Perths tallest building, Central Park. The Daisy Chain team are Bijou Daniels, Lara Ashford, Lily Longley, Tess Dillon and Taylor Gardener. At the start of the year they got together and held a cake stall. They spent their profit on themselves, including a lot of lip gloss, before they hit on the idea of using similar ways to raise money for others less fortunate. They had discovered the joy of giving and the Daisy Chain was born. Now they channel all their fund-raising money to a poorer regional Catholic school where children often arrive at school without having had breakfast and with no lunch. With the start of MS Week, the girls have turned their attention to the Step Up for MS event, a fund-raiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of WA, where entrants run up 1096 stairs in Central Park. They hope to raise 500. POST readers can go to the Step Up for MS website at www.stepUpforMS.com.au to sponsor the Daisy Chain. LEFT: The Daisy Chain girls train for their assault.

Be pleased! She will be involved in a physical activity which requires a blend of aerobic fitness and muscular strength. She will be learning a new skill that requires millimetric precision and great mental concentration. She will be engaged in the ultimate team sport, with up to nine people striving together at the highest level of harmony. Hopefully, the focus and discipline learnt at rowing will carry over into other aspects of her life. Be warned! Rowing has been described as a sport with spirit which becomes the most enduring of passions for many. Sleepaholics have been known to be out of bed and on the river before it is light. Food and diet come under scrutiny. Ergos and weights become part of the fitness routine. Words such as cleaver, crab and scull slip into normal conversation. Be aware! All this is very puzzling to those who cant see much of what is going on or who are being dragged out of bed in the early hours. To fully appreciate rowing you must first understand it. As your knowledge of the sport increases, so your appreciation will grow. We hope this booklet will help! 2 Rowing Organisation at St Hildas Miss Clare Reeson is St Hildas Rowing Coordinator and she works with the Head Coach, Sandy Burt, to oversee all the training schedules, coaching programmes and selection procedures by coaching staff. St Hildas has an agreement with Hale School whereby we jointly use Cygnet Hall (the rowing shed), resulting in us having one of the best fleets of boats in Western Australia. In 2008 we have a brand new 1st Eight boat. St Hildas organises buses to transport girls (both boarder and day girls) to and from training each morning. The bus departs from the Chapel at 5.25am sharp and returns to school around 8.00am. A fee of 100 is charged to each rowers account (waived for a second child) regardless of the number of times your daughter uses the bus, so please make use of this facility. All girls will catch the bus back to school after training. Breakfast in the Dining Room After morning training, girls can have breakfast in the Dining Room for a nominal charge of 4 per person. Girls should remember that they are guests of the Boarding House whilst dining and they are answerable to staff and rowing parent volunteers who supervise the breakfast programme. Rowers will be expected to leave the Dining Room in a tidy state. Maintaining good nutrition is essential for girls to perform at optimum levels and for getting them ready for a school day. As such, it is assumed that all girls will be partaking in boarding house breakfast, and all accounts will be charged unless the School receives notification otherwise. Rowing Squads Girls row according to their school year and experience. Competition rowing commences in Year 9 (Year 8s are involved in a sculling programme during Term 4) and there are separate squads for Years 9, 10, Freshmen (novice Years 10,11,12 rowers) and Seniors (Years 11 and 12). Girls row in Eights (one cox and eight rowers each with one oar) and Quad Sculls (one cox and four scullers each with two oars). Sculling can also be done individually in Single Sculls. Each crew is assigned a coach who attends all training sessions and regattas. Coaching is undertaken from a speedboat using a megaphone to keep in voice contact with the girls. If parents wish to attend a training session in the speedboat, please contact Sandy Burt to make the necessary arrangements. 3 Selection Process Rowers will be selected for crews based on criteria which will be applied by the coaches and overseen by the Head Coach. A detailed selection policy will be distributed to each Year group early in the season. Objective considerations for selection Small Boats - Girls compete in a series of r      ");

The original Hill pipework was used as the basis of a smaller instrument and the casework, structure, console, actions, key switching, leathers and wind trunks were all designed new for St Hildas. The wind trunks were made of recycled mahogany from the old Hill frames and the bellows were retained from the 1903 enlargement.

In 1931 the first collection for a Chapel fund was taken during the dedication of the new school buildings in Mosman Park. The Depression and World War II prevented further progress, despite the efforts of headmistresses and committees and the need for a Chapel. Later the need for more classrooms, playing fields and equipment had to take priority owing to increasing enrolments. In 1945 Miss Small, Headmistress, said; The conception of education for which we stand is that of a school community, of education, through a pattern of living. A Chapel as a focussing point for Christian life and service is a very valuable aid in the fulfilment of our general aim which St Hildas should certainly see dedicated and in use before its 20th anniversary. There are references in the school archives to fundraising events and donations throughout the years 1931-1954. During the 50s, 60s and 70s the School urgently needed a science block, gymnasium, swimming pool and classrooms. In 1976 the Oratory was created in a room in Catherine House. The Old Scholars Association provided some of the furnishings in 1976. It was named the LeFanu Oratory in memory of Archbishop LeFanu, who had assisted with the costs of building a Chapel but had died long before his dream could be realised. The LeFanu Oratory was dedicated in 1979 and included three stained glass windows of the Risen Christ, Saint Hilda and the Parable of the Sower. These are now in the oratory at the East end of the Chapel. Other furnishings were given on the understanding that they would be moved once the School had its own Chapel. Mrs June Jones was appointed Principal in 1980, and further progress was made with the building programme, including additions to the Junior School in 1984. In 1988 Mr William Caldow, Chair of Council, announced the planning of a Chapel. The School Council, Chapel Appeal Chairman and Mrs Jones drew upon the resources of the far reaching network of the Parents and Friends Association, the Old Scholars Association, students, families and staff. 1990 was known as The Year of the Chapel when fundraising from many regular and extra events was directed towards the fund. Luncheon parties were held in the country areas of WA so that past, present and prospective parents and families could meet Mrs Jones and view Chapel plans. Functions were held in Capel, Esperance, Dandaragan, Kojonup, Darkan, Geraldton and Carnarvon. One prospective St Hildas family travelled 350kms to the luncheon at Darkan and four planes landed at Wahroonga Station for the gathering at Carnarvon. Mr Brian Klopper was commissioned as architect, and the Foundation Stone was blessed by the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Dr Peter Carnley, on 2 September 1990. In 1991 the Restoration of the Old School House, now known as Hope Nicholas House was carried out. The Chapel was built in 1993 and finally dedicated and consecrated on 20 March 1994 by Archbishop Carnley.     ");
